After
workout is an important time for
burning fat. To use this period to its greatest potential, follow these
principles :
-
Workout long and hard enough to increase
muscle temperature, stimulate the release of stress hormones, and
burn those extra calories. While duration of bodybuilding exercise is important
for fat burning, intensity is also important. Increased intensity
adds to the caloric expenditure, increases fat mobilization after
bodybuilding
exercise, and speeds the rate of developing muscle mass.
-
Increase your muscle mass. Muscle is one of
the most metabolically active tissues in the body. If you have more
muscle, you have a larger "furnace" in which to burn fat. Remember,
increased muscle temperature is one of the most important factors
helping you to burn more calories during and after exercise. More
muscle translates into a higher metabolic rate.
-
Occasionally, try exercising twice a day.
Frequent exercise sessions decrease the efficiency of exercise. In
other words, extra sessions increase the number of calories you burn
for the same amount of exercise. Exercise in the morning, have an
early dinner, then exercise again at 8 or 9 p.m. You will increase
your calorie burning all night long.
Maximizing the effects of post-exercise caloric
consumption will not make you lean if you are overweight or allow you to
eat whatever you want. However, it is another variable that will help
you attain the kind of body you want.
